1.0. Introduction
One of the most important analytical tools that an engineer must have is the ability to conceive, design,
implement and operate a product. This module provides a basis for fresh (1st Semester) engineering
undergraduates to undergo most, if not all the engineering design processes that are needed to eventually
attain these skills in idea conceptualisation to product realisation.
The module Engineering Design and Analysis (PRJ 62404) is conducted during the 1st semester across all
engineering disciplines within Taylor’s University. This module equips the students with soft skills such
as team working, critical thinking, report writing, social, cultural and ethical aspects of an engineer. The
manual drawing sections enhance the ability of the students in idea conceptualization in this module as
well as the other modules. Environmental issues as well as its impact on engineering projects are discussed
with focus especially on eco preservation and green technology.
Students will be assigned into group of maximum four to five members to complete an engineering
challenge within the semester. These groups will be formed randomly without gender or intellect bias.
Besides having a team leader, each group will have a credit controller responsible for the reimbursement
of approved funding. The nomination of secretary for documentation processes is strongly recommended
to avoid any discrepancy regarding the contribution of team members. Each group will have a main
supervisor to provide guide on good practices and technological applications regarding the project.
The student attainment for this module is assessed from the plan below:
Please note that any work submitted after the deadline (which may have been extended) shall have the percentage
grade assigned to the work on face value reduced by 10% for the first day and 5% for each subsequent day late. A
weekend counts as 1 day. Lecturers reserve the right to not accept work submitted more than 1 week late.
Students must:
Group registration- Be registered on TIMeS** for student group allocation. **Changes may applied
Keep all evidences for the work done. The evidences must be related to the learning outcome of
the module.
Team analysis form- Get their team analysis form progressively signed by the supervisor at an
absolute minimum of once in every two weeks.
Meeting minutes - Minute all meetings with the module coordinator and to be able to produce a
copy of the minutes a week after the meeting.
Plagiarism checking - Submit all documents and information on the dates prescribed through
Turn-it-in. Not plagiarise their workyes
Inform the module coordinators on the venue of them working on the project, during which staff
members can contact them.
Attend and be punctual to the lectures and discussion sessions.
Comply with the laboratory rules to ensure safety.
Content
A design proposal is expected to contain at least the following information:
Content
Executive summary
Background/Introduction
Concept/ Decision matrix
Methodology/Approach (System architecture, configuration design…)
Project Management
o Project budget
o Project timeline/Gantt Chart
o Linear Responsibility Chart
Conclusion
Appendix
o References
The marking rubric can be found in section 8.1 (Appendix, page 9).
Proposal Submission
Plagiarism checking - Softcopy of the proposal should be uploaded through TIMeS Turn-it-in.
Deadline for the submission is on Thursday in Week 6, 11:59 pm.
The marking rubric can be found in section 8.4 (Appendix, page 14).
Students are required to produce the meeting minutes from the previous week during the meeting. The
template for meeting record can be found in section 8.6 (Appendix, page 16). The marking rubric can be
found in section 8.5 (Appendix, page 15).
Note on the usage of this template.
Guidelines to fill in the team analysis form: (start from week 2, submit on Week 3/5/8/11/13)
Students are required to update the team analysis once every two weeks using the form specified
at Appendix 8.7.The marking rubric for team analysis can be found in section 8.5 (Appendix, page
15)
The team analysis comprises:
Team stage Based on Tuckman’s model, specify the current stage of the team
Team activities Summarize the activities the team members have conducted in no
more than 150 words
Reflection Responses of the member’s experiences, opinions, thoughts and
feelings. Specify the activities which he/she would like to conduct
in the coming week, to push the team toward the performing stage.
No more than 150 words.
Project status Specify the project status based on the Gantt chart
Failures are often a source of very valuable learning. In order for us to reap the full benefit of the failures
we encounter and mistakes we make, it is necessary for us to see failure as an investment that we can seek
return over. This form is named Return on Failure and is designed to help you analyse your failure and
grow. The form for Return on Failure can be found in section 8.2 (Appendix, page 11). The marking rubric
can be found in section 8.3 (Appendix, page 12).
The marking rubric can be found in section 8.4 (Appendix, page 9).
Each team will be given 5 minutes to demonstrate the final artefact to the module coordinator and judges
in terms of functionality and practicality, followed by 10-minute Q&A session, in which each team
member will be assessed individually based on the depth of the applications of the artefact, knowledge on
the principles and capability in operating the artefact, in the most effective and efficient way.
The marking rubric can be found in section 8.9 (Appendix, page 19).
